I added 20 more minutes to this, so it'll start at 2:20PM Eastern (8:20 Central Europe) to wait till vugraph ends for the day. If this is too much of a delay let me know, I'll change it back earlier.

Got 3 tables this time, and Barry won: http://webutil.bridg...3383-1404066130

Me and Kuhchung fought for last place but due to an unfortunate misunderstanding where I thought we were fighting for next to last while he was aiming for last, he won - wd Kuh

There were some interesting boards too, I'll post separately.

[kuhchung]

I'm the best!

This is the hand Kuhchung was talking about... I show it to point out that I wasn't kidding when I said in the "is this a 3 diamond raise, "Lord knows I support with support with nothing often enough"... here is a perfect example of the weak raise. Of course, it is easy to see that I don't have my bid and I put my partner in a difficult situation of what to bid.

I have to take the blame on this one for my creative raise.....

To be honest, I was just stupidly optimistic and thought "gee maybe I can make it if the double was insane!" and didn't stop to consider that i could get -1 out of the ending

The one I'm embarassed at is:

---

I'm not sure what came over me when I failed to cash the ♠A. Although partner didn't help by putting in the J on the opening lead unnecessarily. Even if declarer had played the 9 or 10 from dummy, he should be able to read it as a singleton, and know that opener has exactly AQ, so covering is unnecessary.

But it turns out it wouldn't have made a difference in the matchpoints, since we didn't double.

I would like to point out how fun it was to play with all of you, and thanks again to Diana for hosting these
